Never Felt Like Jemimah Was Under A Lot Of Pressure, Says Long-time Coach Shetty
DY Patil Stadium: With the pitch at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai being good for batting, it was no surprise to see Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal set the foundation for India’s crucial 53-run win over New Zealand with scintillating centuries.
But there was another important cog in India’s wheel of posting a huge 340/3 in 49 overs – local girl Jemimah Rodrigues coming out at number three to hit an unbeaten 76 off 55 balls. It was a game where Jemimah rewrote her World Cup narrative – after bagging two ducks and losing her spot in the playing eleven in the four-run loss to England in Indore.
As India booked their semi-final spot in front of a record 23,180 spectators, it also announced the return to form for Jemimah, who hit the fastest fifty for India in the ongoing competition in 38 balls. Seeing Jemimah soar high with the bat left her long-time coach, Prashant Shetty, beaming with pride and happiness.
